• DYNAMIC SAMPLING
Invasive Drilling Programmes
Any enquiry will start with UnEarthed’s technical management team looking at the client’s requirements and discussing a best approach to producing a quality and representative ground investigation programme; whether this be a small project requiring window sampling, or a large infrastructure project demanding various invasive drilling investigations with depth sampling and penetration testing. Our associate’s team have a wealth of experience from the civil build industry to geological and technical sciences in the oil and gas sector, where a programme can be tailored to suit the requirements of the project. This in turn can only leave a client confident in the delivery of a quality end product, with all needs being met to a professional standard.

Trial Pit Investigations
It is often the case that a thorough “eyes on” geological inspection of subsurface conditions is required, this is especially relevant to the presence of potential slip planes in built up engineered ground for embankments. In this instance a trial pit maybe required, where a section of ground will be chosen to excavate a defined pit for a detailed account of strata or layering of made up ground conditions in the form of a geological log. UnEarthed specialise in all geological investigations and can facilitate production of geological logs in trial pit investigations for assessment of ground conditions and modelling.
